Mumbai, April 7
Air India Chief Executive Officer Campwell Wilson has resigned, according to a source. He was appointed as Air India’s CEO and MD in July 2022. Tata Group acquired Air India from the government in January 2022. He expressed his desire to resign, conveyed it (to the Board), and resigned,” the source privy to the development said. A response from Air India on the developments was awaited. Earlier this year, a source had said that the Tata Group was scouting for a suitable candidate to head Air India, as Wilson’s five-year tenure at the airline was set to end in 2027.
Air India’s low-cost subsidiary, Air India Express, also has not had a head since March 19 this year, following the resignation of then Managing Director Aloke Singh, who completed his 5-year tenure at the airline. Wilson has been under fire since June 12 last year following the crash of the airline’s London-bound flight soon after takeoff from Ahmedabad airport, killing 241 of the 242 persons on board the Boeing 787-8 aircraft.
